Welcome to the National Gallery Picture Library. We have created this site primarily
for image professionals, allowing access to and rights clearances for images in
the National Gallery’s world-famous collection.

We recommend the use of our new generation of images now available as downloads
from this site. You can read more about the technical aspects of our digitisation
process, and the files it generates, in Image information.
In addition to those digital formats available online, we can supply digital image
files on CD to suit your needs. We also continue to supply images in colour transparency
format if required. We charge a small service fee per order despatched, of £30
+ VAT for the UK or £35 (+ VAT where applicable) outside the UK. To order material,
please complete our Picture Library request form.

We have created this website to allow easy viewing, accessing and licensing of our
images from wherever you are in the world, but we still like to keep in touch with
our clients. Based next door to the Gallery, we are available during normal office
hours to respond to queries you may have about our service or images. We recommend
you check our FAQs before making direct
contact with us, as you may find your answer quicker there.
